Is anyone THAT upset being 0-2?

I don't mind the losing. I DO mind the blowouts.

 

Vikings spread is 16 points. I've never seen anything like it.

16 points is absurd. I remember back in 07 when the Patriots were on their winning streak and we played them on Sunday night the spread was 10. We lost by 46 of I remember right. So this week we should theoretically lose by 60

amazing how so many just accept losing with the hope we may have a decent team in 3-4 years

Yep, it's actually sickening.  I've never seen a franchise that has fans conditioned to think this way.  Anyone with any kind of objectivity could see that this team was putrid when all positions of need were neglected and ignored this offseason.  This coming off of a playoff year, in which the AFC was absolutely horrible. 

 

Think about it this way.  The Bills could easily be the only team in the AFC that didn't get better.  Easily the only team that didn't get better or at least stay the same.

 

Jets - Better

Dolphins - Better

Pats - Still good.

 

Pittsburgh - Still good

Ravens - Better

Browns - Better

Bengals - Better

 

Broncos - Better

Oakland - Better

KC - Better

SD - Same/Decent

 

Indy - Better

Houston - Better

Tenn - Same/Decent

Jax - Better

 

And we just gave up a year......and for what?  Are we the first team in NFL history to tank a season for a Non-QB first overall pick next year, even though we still don't know what we have at QB?

 

Garbage

I'm hoping the Giants squeeze out too many wins and Eli retires. That team would be like.. Redskins for RGIII desperate

I think the Giants Oline is as bad as the Bills Oline. Eli might not make it to the end of the season. He was getting hammered.

They tried to "address" it by drafting like.. one round 2 guard with mostly the same other guys

I am...tired of losing and looking like the worst team in the league.  Always the excuse that we're rebuilding.....clearing cap space.....

 

At least this time it’s actually true?

I'm hopeful even though it looks ugly now...not easy to rebuild from 3-4 win season

When we made the playoffs last year, I naively thought this may be the beginning of a playoff streak.  

Then Wood retired and Incognito did whatever he did.

Then I looked at our remaining roster.

Then I looked at our dead cap money.

Then I looked at how little we're spending on this year's players.

And then, finally, I embraced more realistic expectations.

 

If Edmunds and Allen both look like emerging stars by the end of this season, I'll be happy regardless of the win total.  

thanks for the downer

Teams that go from mediocre to playoff runs have legit QB's. The Jags had 6 years of drafting in the top five picks. Even up to last year they were picking in the top 5. That was an overhaul. Bortles was border line bust until he progressed and the Jags got him offensive weapons while adding to their defense. 

 

We’ll see Bortles played the game of his life yesterday. He’s gotta do it more than once to prove he’s  finally figured it out.

There are some nice precedents.

 

2008 packers suffered though a 6-10 season with Rodgers after 13-3 with Favre.  Two seasons later they’re hoisting  a Lombardi.

 

Manning won three games his rookie year, then went on to 15 winning seasons out of  16 seasons he played... 

 

Live fire learning and all the mistakes are the most painful but effective way to accelerate the learning curve.

We are going through the rough part of our schedule

 

I need to see what the team looks like against the "middling" teams in our schedule before I can even get a sense of what our record might be.

The Chargers and Ravens are middling teams. 

[row_33]

the rough part only goes the first 8 games

SO glad I didn't attend. Hot football games are just not fun, especially in the cheap seats.

By then they will be so beaten down 0-16 is a possibility.

[KCNC]

No in fact I expected it.  Preseason pick was 4-12 and I'm sticking with it.  0-4 is a lock.

[Fadingpain]

I think for most fans, expectations were so low that the reality of this team being hot garbage doesn't hurt.

 

We have pretty much all concluded this is a lost, non-playoff year, by Week 2.

 

The theory is that this is for the long term good of the team, so it is OK.

 

That remains to be seen.  If Allen doesn't come around, this is just a good old fashioned Bills disaster.

I found myself not caring at all that we lost yesterday. I was actually more excited to see Josh Allen's potential. 

 

Listening to the post game and even reading posts here, it seems most fans wernt THAT upset about it. This is a true re building year. We don't have that much talent at key positions. While I still want this team to win and turn it around this season, I'm fully pre pared for a 3 or 4 win season. 

 

I fully expected a loss, having the same hope for the future too.  I actually trust the process McDermott preaches even more today.  I think everyone needs to take a step back and look at what happened to the offensive line in the off-season and understand that it happened so fast, and probably after a full draft strategy had already been formulated.  there are so many thin spots on this team, there really weren't any opportunities to fix the O-line.  I think any avid football fan knew we were in for a rough ride this year.

The last game i took my girlfriend to, it was about 8 Billion degrees in the lower bowl. I was peeling off my face for a week afterwards.
